commit: e1082f45f1e2bbf6e25f6b614fc6616ebf709d19 From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2013 12:43:26 -0800 Subject: ipc: fix potential oops when src msg > 4k w/ MSG_COPY If the src msg is > 4k, then dest->next points to the next allocated segment; resetting it just prior to dereferencing is bad.
